What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

This is not an original idea, I saw a similar thread over on the h.a.m.b., but I
and hopefully others, would like to know what makes your truck different than anyone else's?

What makes it unique or custom?

What are your personal touches that make the truck yours?

Feel free to post pictures.

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

yeah, i'd say thats unique. thats either a '48-53 tailgate, or someone cut the script off & attached it to the later gate. looks good, sure is something you dont see everyday

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

four captians chair's from a conversion van and front and rear console's in crew cab.

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

2.56 rear diff ratio. How un-truck like.

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

I have the 2.56 gears too!
Are they good for anything except going really fast?
By fast I mean basically beyond a stock trucks capabilities. lol

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

It's an unmolested, unrusted 1973. How many more can there be? :lol:

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

They make good doorstops.

mines not unique

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

My 1980 big ten is rebuilt and painted front to back and looks brand new like it was in 1980.

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

My 74' has pearl parchment interior. I can't seem to find any info on it or and dye to dye the stupid arm rests.

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

I was wondering why I never see these mirrors on other 10's. I have them on mine too and everytime I see any other similar trucks I think, why do they have those mirrors and I have these?? :lol:


As for mine.. I think the interior seat setup. I haven't really seen any like it yet since I've been here on the forum and looking at everyone else's trucks.

Also, the stock replacement suspension stuff I always see for a 77 Chevy K10 note that it has single shocks in front and back.. mine has dual shock setups up front:

As a note, if anyone can correct me that they are NOT unique, that would be helpful. I'm still trying to learn everything that I have here. ;)

Dump hoist conversion on my 83 C20 - gets a lot of looks when I unload at the local "landfill" (a.k.a. "dump".)

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

On my 46 I used a late 70s floorshift column They have a linkage hookup but no shifter I hooked up the linkage and now have a truck with no shifter To shift you just turn the collar Any one who gets in it cannot figure how to put in gear Great theft deterrent

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

My '79 C10 unlike my Harley-Davidson or girlfriend I don't have to kick her to start her.

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

I better clarify this; that's just a joke about having to kick my girlfriend to start her, I don't kick my dog either. My bike is an old Shovelhead and it does have to be kicked to start... Sometimes it takes lots of kicks.

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

Made my own fender emblems. Surfaced them on the computer, then had the CNC guys machine them.


And I too have a shovelhead.

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

Mine is a diesel short box 1/2 ton with bucket seats, all factory. Aftermarket wise it has a gear venders overdrive. I get 23 MPG. That's how I'm unique.

And I'm probably the only active member on this board running an Olds diesel.

A CUCV actually running on the road around here is unique in itself, but we also put our shop logo on the side.

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

Origional paint code paint job and original interior with small custom camo accents here and there. Also some one ton features on it being that it's a 3/4.

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

:haha:

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

Since I started the thread, I should probably add something.

I haven't added any personal touches to my truck yet to make it mine, but I will when I will when I get it going down the road!

One thing that I haven't seen a lot of is my conversion to 5 x 4.75" wheel bolt pattern.

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?

front and back

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

What brand is that folding bench/seat setup? Mine is similar it's from Classic truck of texas or something. I did modify it by painting the wood with 2K paint after smoothing it all and have custom leather seats w embroidery (also on doors and dash)

Full power Italian leather Cadillac 60 Series seats. Only a handful of these seats were ever produced. And yes, they're extremely comfortable..

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?
 

What makes mine unique is the fact that I have more parts for it in my house then on the truck. But I love it
